    Isn't the 6.5 flatter though? Trajectory wise.

    I don't really care about flatter or not. I care about retained energy at the target.

    BC is just a measure of how easily the bullet will be able to overcome the external forces of the fired projectile. nothing more, nothing less.

    Sent off my Utah CFP packet today. Approx 60 days plus mail time I should have my permit back.

    FYI, to be proactive, I call the Parker PD and ask about their property/building firearms policy because I need to get fingerprinted. After answering a few why, what, where, and being put on hold twice because she doesn't know their policy, she comes back with, "We don't have a policy against firearms in the public areas, but we would prefer you didn't."

    WTF?

    The young guy that did the fingerprinting was cool about it and we chatted about carry guns, etc.

    6.5 grendel is a small case, about the size of a 223, right?

    I have no idea. I have to get some work done, so I can't start running all over the place to these competitions. I'll get to maybe one big comp a year from now on. Hopefully, that is.......

    6.5 grendel (based on the .220 russian) has a case capacity of 30.1 gr H2O.

    308 Winchester has a case capacity of 56 gr H2O.

    easier to get a good velocity with a similar (but not equal) sized projectile.

    The weird thing is that since 6.5 Grendel is a bit of a weird cartirdge, try 6.5 grendel vs. 6.5 creedmore.
